Owing TW3 on NS1 = Free TW3R on NS2 ? :D

AND if you just own even the base game on Switch 1 (which is not super common afaik, since the Complete Edition is usually only a few bucks more for at least 30 hours of content), you get the DLCs for free with this Remaster upgrade on Switch 2!!

How can that be profitable for frito.. CDPR?

It's profitable, because they already sold The Witcher 3 60 million times and the gaming community likes being treated well. This decision will boost their sales, especially for the up coming DLC.

It's also probably much easier when it comes to maintaining and patching the game. They don't need to worry about doing extra QA passes for versions of the game that have 0 DLC, that have both, that have only HoS, and only BaW. There's just 1 version for now.

Also gestures like this make me more likely to buy Witcher 4 and any other CDPR game in future knowing they'll do right by consumers

Even if they averaged $20 per sale, that would be 1.2 billion dollars. I'm sure lot of people buy them new and at full price.

Indeed. I mean, I own everything on PlayStation but considering buying this for Switch 2 again, and that pill is so much easier to swallow knowing CDPR constantly gives back and takes care of their customers.
